Bad thought / Good thought time here --

 

BT -- The stress is even more terrible than most people think

 

GT -- The kids now have courage and opportunity to call for help when they need it.

I'm just glad that the young have safe places they can contact as the gops (GOPs) cut off access to teaches who might help.

 

Hugs,

The "Gops" seem willing to make our eradication the hill they're ready to die on.  It's insane considering how small a portion of the population we actually are.

Indeed.  I also wonder about the general stress level in Oklahoma.  Having driven through many parts of the state, including Tulsa and Owasso, I see a lot of signs advertising the 988 mental health hotline.  Good thing it is there.  But since it is advertised heavily, does that indicate a greater than average need for it?
